The light then spent 350 years traveling through the universe and eventually reached the interstellar material observed by JWST; the gas and dust was subsequently warmed, causing it to glow in an ...

The intricate whorls and striations of dust that drift between the stars have just been revealed in stupefying detail. In new images from JWST, we're finally seeing exquisite details of the flow and ...

These shimmering cosmic curtains show interstellar gas and dust that has been heated by the flashbulb explosion of a long-ago supernova. The gas then glows infrared light in what is known as a ...

The Webb images show dense sheets of gas and dust stretching across hundreds of astronomical units. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured highly detailed images showing the complex layers ...

"The space between the stars is not empty, but rather filled with filaments of dust and gas (known as the interstellar medium), which is often invisible until something illuminates it," NASA ...

These observations are allowing astronomers to map the true 3D structure of this interstellar dust and gas (known as the interstellar medium) for the first time. "We were pretty shocked to see ...
